Fresh🌜 detail on Adrian Newey’s disillusionment with Red 💟Bull and Formula 1 has emerged.

The chief technical officer of F1’s dominant tea𝔍m has confirmed his exit after 19 glorious years where he designed the title-winning cars for Sebastian Vettel and Max Ver꧟stappen.

Newey will formally depart Red Bull in early-2025 and can reportedly take a new job, with a new F1 team, immediately which w🔯ould allow him to oversee the 2026 car.

“I🍰’ve ga🌱ined detail on why it is that Newey has decided to leave. It isn’t a short-term thing,” ’ Craig Slater reported.

“I h♌ave learned that Newey was considering leaving Red Bull last♕ year.

“Christian Horner had to talk him into, effe⭕cti༒vely, signing a new contract with the team. Which he did, last May.

“But he has become incrꦓeasingly disillusioned with the power struggle going on behind-the-🦩scenes at the team.

“There is friction between Salzburg - where Red Bu♏ll’s head office, in sporting terms, is - and the Formula 1 team base in Milton 🗹Keynes.

“And a𝐆lso the wider friction🏅 between the Thai majority ownership and the Austrian 49% minority ownership.

“That power struggle has made it a difficult workingꦕ environment for Newey.

“Additionally, he is not a fan of the Netflix era of F♕ormula 1 which is so ꦉmuch in the spotlight.

“There i🤡s so much commercial focus, as welღl. That does not sit well with him.”

Drive To Survive, the Netflix series, is a major success for F1 owners Libert🥃y Media and has grown the fanbase, but has clearly not impressed the legendary Newey.

Ferrari are the team who are most he꧅avily linked with Newey.

“What I can say, in factual terms, is that Newey has told Red Bull t🍒hat he has not signed an agreement to join another Formula 1 team,” Slater said.

“He would ꦆnot have a shortage of offersꦆ. We know of interest from Ferrari and Aston Martin.

“Well-placed sources at Aston Mart🅘꧂in felt that, if Newey went elsewhere, Ferrari was the more enticing proposition.”

Ferrari also wꦍelcome Lewis Hamilton in 2025 so adding F1’s best-ever car designer would be a colossal coup.

Howev🅰er, it has not been ruled out that Newey could step away from F1🀅 altogether.

“I’ve spoken to a number of people close to Newey, who understand it will be a matter of weeks until he decides what 🧔to do,” Slater re༺ported.

“Retirement isn’𒁏t out of t෴he question. He is 65 years old.”
